STALKER STAR is a one-man IDM & electronic ambient act, brought in existance from me, former player of oboe in music school, Vardan Chuchkov in 1991. It was known in the undergound life of then Skopje under the moniker of Kowloon Gray, and the first album was recorded in the studio of Vlatko Kaevski - Kiborg in 1996, and the album was called " Living Still Dead". One song from it made fantastic success - it was called 'The dance of the devil's bride" (wich demo was made on a pc 386 with scream tracker program) and it was sunged by the popular Macedonian actress Arna Shijak.

Story behind the song
Filota (Philotas) was the man who conspired the effort to poison Aleksandar Veliki - hence the name of the song "the trial of Filota" bcs in that specific trial Car Aleksandar asked Filota would he defend him self on his native Macedonian language and Filota replied "i would rather speak on the tongue on wich your majesty converses with all the others (ie koine greek), so all cud understand" on wich Aleksandar replied "Look Macedonians!Filota despises & detests even his native tongue and culture - even that is enough 4 death sentence, let alone trying to poison his own king !!!" This historic event is enormously important in our cold war with the Greeks, bcs here Alexander excplicitly mentions their native Macedonian language as opposed to the Greko claim that they were "underdeveloped greeks from the north whose native language was Attic(?)Greek "
